I don't know what it was that fuelled my sudden interest in Julian Barnes ... but I think it all started when I read "The sense of an ending" which apart from the skilfully plotted sequence of events made me fall in love with his writing style ... I couldn't wait until I bought a second book and ... a third and a fourth ... and still a fifth ... in what sounded much like an "addiction"...
"Mesmerising"
... "Exquisite" ... "Masterclasses in the form, full of the sidelong wit and
intelligence that make the writer one of our most consistently deft
short-form stylists" ... "Scintillating" ..."Fiction at its best" ... "A
master class in character observation" ..."Irony and imagery arze
deployed with a finesse even Flaubert wouldn't wince at ... consumately
elegant." ... - are just among some of the opinions on this incredible writer and the books he has written, some of which have been awarded prizes ...
